Bill Shorten used an address at the National Press Club in Canberra on Wednesday to attack Tony Abbott. Shorten, who has spent the past six months campaigning against Abbott and Hockey’s “rotten” and “unfair” first budget, said the government’s problem was not the sales job but the product. The Labor leader used his speech to lay out some markers on the importance of confronting the long-term challenges of climate change and demographic shifts, saying Australia’s future depended on a highly skilled, highly educated workforce. Australians were concerned about where the jobs of the future would come from, Shorten said, but the nation should aim to be an innovative “services hub in the Asian century” and a “clean energy powerhouse”. Shorten pointed the finger at the Coalition for worsening the deficit shortly after it came to office last year. theguardian/world/2014/nov/26/tony-abbott-backward-looking-failure-adrift-bill-shorten
